Alcohol Ink Painting
Adult Classes | Available
This interactive class builds upon the skills you learned in the previous class or for those that have prior alcohol ink experience. Different materials to work on will be provided for students, like yupo paper, and vellum. Weekly demonstrations will help students to understand how to handle the medium and how to manipulate it to get desired results. Students will learn to further develop their skills using Scotch tape, condensed air, and Stylus dotting tools to create beautiful works of art.

*Inks stain your clothes, and skin, so you need to be dressed appropriately with closed-toed shoes and an apron as this can be a messy process. You may want to bring a mask as using isopropyl alcohol is very strong.
